 Topic: Your favorite Death/black metal bands
Posted: December 16 2008 at 21:26 |
There's a real crossover between this thread and the "lyrical content" thread....lol
Black Metal:
Burzum, Xasthur, Leviathan, Nachtmystium (Met these dudes. Insanely nice), Skeletonwitch (Live in the same town as these dudes), Peste Noire, Alcest, Bone Awl, Von, Nokturnal Mortum (not for their politics), Dead Reptile Shrine, Abruptum, Mayhem, Darkthrone, etc.
Sludge/Stoner Metal:
Sunn O))), Boris, Torche, Mouth of the Architect, Electric Wizard, OM, Weedeater, High On Fire, Sleep, Buried At Sea, Jesu, Isis, Neurosis
Grindcore / Powerviolence / Hardcore:
Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Spazz, Man Is The b*****d, Apartment 213, Behold…The Arctopus, Pig Destroyer, The Locust, An Albatross (INCREDIBLE live show), Genghis Tron, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Crass, D.I.R.T., Harry Pussy
Noise:
Wolf Eyes, Merzbow, Sword Heaven, Prurient, Whitehouse, Sutcliffe Jugend, Bloodyminded, (literally more than I can name…I’m huge into noise and run my own small label.)
I’m glad to see a thread on PA that doesn’t try to assign bands as a subgenre of prog in order to justify liking it.

WEAK!
Black metal-
Wolves
Early Ulver
Negura Bunget
A forest of stars
Emperor
Enslaved
Drudkh (super recommend this group)
Deathcore-
Job for a cowboy
War from a harlots mouth
Killwhitneydead
The number twelve looks like you
Arsonists get all the girls
Emmure
See you next tuesday
Deathcore is a really underated genre here, I think we should all take an interest in everything that has to do with extreme moshing

And the video for Mother North ! Yummi. I was about to say something indecent, but I´ll restrain myself  . Those of you who have seen the video knows what I´m talking about here  .

I have to emphasize my admiration for Devourment. They took an intriguing concept and executed it perfectly. True pioneers.
this quote sums up how i feel about the band:
"Saying that Devourment suck because of the straightforwardness and
low-end technicality is like saying you hate water because it's too wet."

Even if I am not a fan of Satyricon, this album is one of the most innovative in black metal I've ever heard... good recommendation

I don't want to sound rude, but this joke isn't funny anymore. Moreover, it's so American-centered that a lot of Europeans mustn't get it: I never heard or read of this caracter until last year.
If you're looking for the origin of death metal growlings, listen to the "Piltdown Man" vocal parts on Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells".
But this reference to Mike Oldfield may not be a silly joke: in "Choosing Death" (by Albert Mudrian, Feral House, 2004), Mike Amott confess "ripping off melodies from The Exorcist and The Omen soundtracks and stuff like that" when he was playing in Carnage in the late eighties.
So, there's at least one death metal band influenced by Mike Oldfield.
One last thing about death metal vocal parts: my father made the theory that the originator of such vocal parts was... Captain Beefheart.
Yes, he was joking.

Finally someone said it! It was probably funny back in the 80s..........maybe. You know, when they first told the joke. It's 2008, two decades after Death Metal was born and it's an established sub-genre of metal. And yes Death Metal, the joke is about death metal vocals, NOT BLACK METAL. The cookie monster joke has not been funny for over 2 decades. Please let it rest.

glad to see Wolves in the Throne Room getting a lot of love around here.
Unexpect
Opeth (preferably the older stuff, like Morningrise and Still Life)
Children of Bodom's earlier works (I like up to Hate Crew Deathroll but Follow the Reaper is their last great one)
Nachtmystium
Strapping Young Lad
I also really enjoy John Zorn's work where he combines free jazz with extreme metal

^ Thou shalt not post photos of Mikael Akerfeldt in vain.
This thread needs more mentions of Immolation, especially Close to a World Below.

I'm not a big fan of death metal but I'm well into black metal and other extreme metal acts.
Burzum - Great atmospheric BM. A personal favourite of mine.
Bathory - Classic. Nothing compares to this.
Paysage d'Hiver - This invokes feelings of winter.
Summoning - Fantasy inspired BM. An acquired taste to some. Most of their lyrics are about Tolkien's world of Middle Earth.
Drudkh - Highly recommended. Similar to Burzum.
Darkspace - Similar to Paysage in that it invokes feelings of outer space.
Nyktalgia - Obscure depressive Black Metal band. Very promising.
Nargaroth - Herbstleyd is all you need from this black metal band.
Ahab - Awesome funeral doom band. They are inspired by the book "Moby Dick."
Wormphlegm - Funeral doom. Only released a demo which had one great 32:00 minute epic.
Primordial - Great celtic metal band.

Still listening to Napalm Death, Carcass, Pestilence or Death. I'm not impressed by the evolution of extreme metal nowadays but I would save pennies for the albums of Genghis Tron, Matriarch or I Wrestled A Bear Once.

I f we are talking strictly about death/black Emperor Death (last 3-4 allbums) Arch Enemy (particularly the first album!!! - an absolute gem) At the Gates (pioneers of NWOSDM - new wave of Swedish death metal, especially their last album) Dimmu Borgir (newer stuff) Drank Tranquillity (up to Mind's I) I can't say I like bands like Burzum, Marduk, Mayhem etc.  I have tried some 'straight' black metal like Immortal which I enjoyed at times, but overall I cannot cope with the 'grinding'  oh and don't forget the mighty NILE, excellent band
